So I was just using a bathroom with one of those automatic- flushing toilets that flushes a gazillion times while you’re still using it and then doesn’t flush when you actually need it to. I was in there for the long haul because... um... cake, so the excessive flushing was getting pretty annoying. And then my epiphany came... The sensor flushes the toilet when it detects movement, right? So all you have to do is convince it that you’re always sitting perfectly still. Therefore, the solution is simply to drape a piece of toilet paper over the sensor so it can’t see you. Then when you’re done, you simply remove the paper, the sensor detects that movement and flushes, and you’re done. This totally works and I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner... TL;DR, blindfold the toilet to prevent excessive flushes.

Also, placing a couple of sheets of toilet paper on the top of the water help avoid The Kiss of Poseidon.

There’s a subtext here about how automatic isn’t always better. Pushing a button was never a problem, but you’ve described how automatic systems have created a problem all of their own
. While being more expensive as well!

What the hell, though... were you perhaps
dancing to Lionel Richie’s “All

We've had to teach this to our oldest girl, who is starting kindergarten today. They have automatic flush toilets, and they terrify the kids.

Pushing a button clearly is a problem though. Some people hate touching anything in a bathroom (especially a public bathroom), and others don’t flush because they are horrible people. Either way, the sensor approach creates better public restrooms which is why you see it everywhere. Just need to make sure the sensors aren’t too twitchy.

I think they exist to flush for the people who don’t flush. Except that they don’t actually flush when you need them to... Although I figure my toilet paper solution is actually more sanitary than using a handle, so maybe it is better?

What I want to know is, w hy aren’t commercial/home toilets using foot control flush like an RV toilet? I know I would prefer a foot flush toilet over one that I had to use my hands to operate, especially in a public bathroom.

I thought it was more of a luxury for the sake of luxury’s item, like power closing tail gates. Sanitary is good
, but that button is the last thing you touch before washing your hands!

My upstairs neighbors just purchased an automatic trash can. Cool, right? You wave your trash over it and it opens...
You know who else can do that...
Their dog, who proceeds to eat the trash...
I find modern advancements in technology unnecessary and stupid.
